Nicotine - Who? What? When? Where? and How?

The big "N" in the vaping community... Nicotine!

Yes Nicotine! Due to current laws and regulations here in Australia; you can NOT sell, gift, give, borrow or buy nicotine inside of Australia but you can import nicotine for personal use (Please Note: Check your state laws before ordering Nicotine)

There is 2 types of Nicotine:

Freebase

Nic Salts

Freebase nicotine is considered to be the purest form of nicotine and has proven to the be most popular avenue of nicotine delivery since the industry took off several years ago. To create freebase nicotine, the compound if added to a mixture of vegetable glycerin (VG) and/or propylene glycol (PG) which effectively carries the nicotine when vaped and gives the user a cigarette like throat hit.

Similar to freebase nicotine, nicotine salts also stem from the purest form of the compound. Without throwing in an overwhelming amount of mumbo jumbo, the only difference between freebase nicotine and nicotine salts lies in a chemical modification done to the ph and alkalinity levels. When a chemical compound such as benzoic acid is introduced to the equation, the chemistry of the nicotine compound is altered making it a very smooth vape with barely any throat hit and giving the user to opt for higher nicotine mg without ripping their throat apart.
